Was hab ich?

I cannot remember names after 2 minutes. Ihave painns in both legs lower shins at the front, anin the calves after only walking 50 meters.My left armstarting in the shoulder causing the muskel over the elbow to `shivver´eventually means that the left hand shakes. These symtoms have progressed during the last 3 months.I would be more than greatful for any advice.Thanks a Million in advance, Denis

I think it´s either vaskular, iscaemic, multiple sclerosis, or it´s an infection wich could be caused by a slow virus (encephalitis).I think it is really necessary, that you consult a neurologist. or that you just ask for help in one of our "ambuulanz" in an hospital.how old are you? because when you are older, it would make an iscamic cause more likely. Althought an iscamic cause is less likely.I am sorry, but the symptoms are quite serious.i just cannot tell via internet, i think a doctor should check you!

Hi!Some add-ons:vascular means, that it coul be a kind of vaskulitits, for example: wegner granulomatosis, polyangiitis, panarteriitis nodosa,.... but normally there are other symptoms,too, like a gereal fatigue.multiple sclerosis has very different symptoms and it is slow progressing in some cases.a viral infection is more likely than a bacterial infection (wich is linked to fever).

Hallo Viktor, thankyou very much for your advice.I will shortly be 73 years old. I did have (about 30 years ago) eriththema (?) nodosom which was below the kneecap right down on the shins, but until about 2-3 months agohave been free of pain in the legs.With the lungs I have been on various inhalors for about 2 years and am at the moment taking Katadolon and Blopress.Thanks again for your attention,Denis

The fact that you had erythema nodosum and that you suffer from a lung disease makes an autoimun disease a little more likely.Maybe something like a sarcoidosis was under control for a long time and is now erupting again.Such autoimun diseases could express itself with various symptoms, like a general fatigue, but also problems with the joints in general (like swelling, pain...). Maybe it is the best guess to go to an reumathologist!?
